Wrecked my 1.2

[btopley]

Took a corner near me a little too fast with near-bald tyres in the wet the other week, this is the result.

Got a new black 1.4 dynamique from near birmingham for £1200, hoping to keep this one for a while

 

[Russ_16v]

Fair play on being honest rather than blaming the usual diesel on road/leaves/alien abduction

glad you're ok, looked nasty

 

[Charlie.]

Ouch. Injuries?

Fair play for admitting driving like a div, not many do.

 

[btopley]

Haha to be fair I was concentrating on the UFO flying overhead at the time Was pretty concussed for the next couple of weeks, general confusion and the shock of wasting £2000 in a split second!

 

[Italian_Job]

that looks nasty
i hope you re Ok

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Nice to see an honest chap.

Looks nasty!

Did you claim on insurance?

I paid £2600 for the Quiksilver i rolled when i was 17 and never claimed. That was a kick in the b****cks.

 

[Matt W]

Ooft. Glad no-one was hurt. Hope it taught you a valuable lesson.

 

[btopley]

Haha yeah but theres only one way to learn a lesson, glad it was sooner rather than later when it could have been a more powerful/expensive car.

 

[Kris86]

nice to see someone being honest, fair play to you!!

Good effort on that car too! lucky to escape with no injury!

 

[btopley]

Nahh, at 17 its not worth the insurance hike from telling them I'd crashed a few months into my first year haha

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Don't you have to tell them?

 

[btopley]

Nope, just rang them up and transferred the policy to my new car. Didnt even ask what happened to the old one :rasp: The local scrap yard have me £100 for it, really regret not taking the wheels off though, only just finished painting them.

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

£100!! cheap! You would have got £300+ for it.. £700+ if you broke it

 

[Revels]

Don't you have to tell them?

Technically, yes.

Fair play on being honest and at least you're alive to tell the tale.

 

[rosskerr]

Agh man I was about to make u an offer haha

 

[btopley]

I know, really wish I'd just took it back home and broke it. Inside was mostly still intact, not a single airbag deployed!

 

[JonnyClio]

I'm glad you're ok mate, rolling a car could end a lot worse for the driver that it did!

@DanFreeman - In the small print it says you do have to tell them yeh, but that's so they can hike your prices!

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Thought so. I told my insurance when I got 3 points, luckily it made no difference to my premium

 

[harribo66]

Gutted for you mate, fair play for being honest, no airbag deployed? sounds like renault

 

[Sanders]

Good effort mate, good to hear your ok though

 

[pendulumx]

Umm, is that a beer can next to the wrecked car in pics 1 and 2? it would explain alot

In pic 1, when looking at the road, you can see telltale rainbow lines from fuel on the road, was that from your car? Maybe you actually did slip on diesel and not realise!

 

[Bren Rogers]

bad times... quite surprised that CS hasn't tried to rip you a new arsehole.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

^probably because he was honest and didn't make up some BS story

 

[btopley]

Haha the beer can was already on the road, although i can see your point haha

The fuel probably was form the car, Id only just filled up £70

Haha im aslo surprised I've not got slated for this, I mean its a nasty crash but the fault was entirely mine

 

[Gally]

Lols!

Good effort to be fair and major kudos for the honesty. Well played mate.

Hopefully that's it out your system and lesson learnt mate. I'm sure a few on here have done it.

 

[JCC]

Well, at least you did it properly and had a real man's crash!

As others have said, well done for being honest about it. Noobs take note, CS will only tear you to shreds if you try to blame anything other than your own poor judgement/lack of concentration/crap driving.

 

[Naith]

good effort.

hope you learnt a lesson there.

 

[B16DOE]

Gutted for ya pal hope you get away all right on the insurance side of things as well

 

[Liquid yellow 182]

Ouch, best make sure your new car has decent tread on the tyres glad your alright though!

 

[d4vy]

Change for someone to actually take the blame as mentioned, as long as you're OK metal is replaceable!

 

[kerry-w]

Good effort, thats how my black clio ended up too, bummer looking at the car upside down when your next to it aint it :rasp:

Least you got out ok though, clio's seem to hold up well in crashes to be fair, rolled mine like you and the shell looks to have the same damage as mine did, I got out with a bruise on my hip from hitting the seatbelt and a sore nose where my head hit the wheel.

 

[.Andy.]

Lucky lucky boy. Glad your ok fella

 

[Spark]

Flol my dynamique ended the exact same way lol was black aswell.

 

[Spark]

Nahh, at 17 its not worth the insurance hike from telling them I'd crashed a few months into my first year haha

That's not true btw, I crashed twice 3 years ago, I checked confused.com and without the crashes it only saves me 100 quid on a sport. Insurance is fcuked now adays.

 

[Pete.]

Lucky no one else was involved. Hope that a lesson has been learnt.

 

[olliewebbuk]

I killed my first Clio like this. Except it was dark and wet and I hadn't slept in 48 hours. Lesson learnt, I swapped to a 1.4 16v too. Farrr better engine.

 

[LowLife.]

Proper job!

Glad your alright though mate.

 

[btopley]

Good effort, thats how my black clio ended up too, bummer looking at the car upside down when your next to it aint it :rasp:

Haha nice to know im not the only one on here whos destroyed their car the same way, such a bad moment

I swapped to a 1.4 16v too. Farrr better engine.

Definitely, could tell the difference straight away when driving it back

 

[TimMB]

That'll T-C... nope can't do it.

Good job that, glad you're all right.
